2016 Republican hopeful Carly Fiorina is apparently pulling out all the stops to raise her current dismal standings in the polls. According to a new report, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard Company allegedly "ambushed" a class field trip full of toddlers this week at the Greater Des Moines botanical garden for a pro-life, anti-abortion rally speech. This news comes from angry parents of the children.

According to Gawker Media, Fiorina spoke about abortion and organ harvesting in front of the children, with outraged parents finding out after the field trip was over.
"The kids went there to see the plants," one father, Chris Beck, told The Guardian this week. "She ambushed my son's field trip." Taking them into a pro-life/abortion discussion [was] very poor taste and judgment. I would not want my four-year-old going to that forum - he can't fully comprehend that stuff. He likes dinosaurs, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Transformers."
We hope that the boy didn't bring up dinosaurs in front of Fiorina.
So it sounds like this "ambush" was pretty close to a "kidnapping," with a strange outcome. These kids learned a lot about the candidate's views, which we know are deeply rooted in anti-abortion.

Fiorina's camp has not addressed the "ambushed" concerns of the parents, but a representative released this statement: "We were happy that these children chose to come to Carly's event with their adult supervisor."
